I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 435 Why did he go to provoke Qiuci again?
Jiaofang Hall.

"Qubing, are you blessing Juer?"

When she heard the news, Wei Zifu was stunned for a long time, and finally came up with a reason that made her feel at ease.

Even though she had heard Wei Qing privately talk about Liu Ju's "shooting the halberd at the gate".

But she still couldn't accept such a stunning victory for the time being. After all, her understanding of Liu Ju until now was still at the time before Liu Ju became a full-level human.

Besides, even if it was a "shooting halberd at the gate", although fighting was related to personal martial arts, it was not the decisive factor.

No matter how skilled Liu Ju was in archery, he was not as strong as a bronze man and invulnerable to swords and spears.

Haven’t you seen how powerful the King of Chu, Xiang Yu, was in the past? Yet he was still forced into a corner by the military genius Han Xin and eventually ended up with a tragic end. Could Liu Ju be more powerful than the King of Chu?

"Go! Go and tell Yishuo the news, tell her and Fuling not to worry anymore, because Er will be back soon!"

In her delight, Wei Zifu immediately ordered a trusted palace maid to deliver the message.

In Wei Zifu's eyes, Yi Shuo was also a miserable woman.

She and Liu Ju had just given birth to a grandson when Liu Ju was deposed as crown prince and then went to the distant and dangerous Western Regions. She could only stay in the palace temporarily with her young son and was unable to see him.

Fortunately, with the help of their mother, they don't have to endure the hardship.

However, this good news deliberately highlighted Han Ling's story of "traveling thousands of miles to find her husband", and portrayed Han Ling as a chaste and heroic woman who was willing to sacrifice everything for love. This undoubtedly added salt to Yishuo's lovesickness, and taught Yishuo, the eldest wife, how to deal with it?

Wei Zifu felt that this did not seem like the work of Liu Ju.

Liu Ju was not such a heartless person, otherwise why would he send Yi Shuo and Liu Fuling to the palace and leave them to his mother to take care of before going on the expedition?

At least Liu Ju would not praise Han Ling so much in the victory report. Even if he could not treat Han Ling equally, he would not praise Han Ling so much and ignore Yi Shuo's feelings.

Maybe Yi Shuo didn't care about it because of her personality, but Liu Ju definitely did.

He could stab Liu Che to death in the street without caring about the consequences for an old man named Zhan from Bowang Garden. This is enough to prove the friendship in his heart and he would never disregard Yi Shuo's feelings.

This seems like Liu Che's method.

In the harem, Liu Che always used such means. It seemed that he treated everyone equally, but in fact he praised one and criticized another to check and balance the external relatives. He would never allow any concubine to dominate. The same was true for his queen. He would often suddenly favor one person and suddenly neglect another, as if he did it on purpose.

For a daughter-in-law like Yishuo who had just given birth to an imperial grandson, Liu Che would definitely find a way to make another daughter-in-law prominent so that the former could not be favored exclusively and must always be kept in awe.

……

Andaohou Mansion.

"Good! Good! Great son-in-law!"

Han Shuo was more excited than anyone else, and even scared his eldest son Han Xing who was beside him.

If Han Xing remembered correctly, his father looked gloomy a few days ago and was almost crying in front of him.

But I can't blame my father for being sentimental. I can only blame Han Zeng and Han Ling for not having a stance...

It's ok that Han Ling's daughter is so disloyal that she ran off to the Western Regions to find her husband without saying a word, but the second son, Han Zeng, should be a sensible son after all, right?
As a result, he was only asked to chase Han Ling and escort him all the way.

However, he never returned and stayed in the Western Regions to participate in the Battle of Loulan with Liu Ju. As a result, he made some military achievements, but was appointed as a fake Sima by Emperor Liu Che, and stayed in the Western Regions and could not return!
How would Han Shuo, who had already smoothed over the relationship and was waiting for Han Zeng to return and become his concubine, feel?
But this is not difficult to say. After all, the fake Sima is a serious military position, and the starting point is much higher than that of a Langguan. He may have a bright future in the future.

But before they could be happy for a few days, news came that the Xiongnu King You Rizhu led 20,000 cavalry to help Gushi...

Now, the second son and the daughter were put into the son-in-law's basket together. They were originally expected to come back after some time, but now they may never come back.

Moreover, how could Han Shuo, who had once followed Wei Qing in participating in the war, not know the level of the Xiongnu cavalry?
When the forces were equal, the Han army was often outwitted. Even the great general Wei Qing suffered at the hands of the Huns. Only Huo Qubing was like the nemesis of the Huns, making them invincible.

How can Liu Ju be compared with Huo Qubing? What's more, the number of cavalry is at an absolute disadvantage, and they may even be attacked by the Hun cavalry. Can this battle really be fought?
Otherwise, why were the emperor and Wei Qing so excited, and why did they cause panic in the entire Chang'an a few days ago?
How could he have expected that?

He had originally prepared himself mentally for the bad news, but what he got was "Master's stunning victory"?
What's going on?

There hasn't been a war in more than ten years. When did the Huns become so weak?
Or can Liu Ju really be compared with Huo Qubing, or even surpass his teacher?

But no matter what, this is a great thing for the Han family... Liu Ju must have an explanation for his return this time, and his second son Han Zeng and daughter Han Ling must also have an explanation. After all, Han Ling is a chaste and heroic woman who "traveled thousands of miles to find her husband", and her name must be recorded in history books!
In this way, the Han family also became rich!
Han Ling is a girl with good vision. She saw it when she went to the Korean Peninsula before... they are all great!

……

at the same time.

As soon as this edict was issued, the whole Chang'an was filled with celebration.

The feud between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu has lasted for nearly a hundred years. The last time there was such a gratifying victory news was when Huo Qubing conquered the Wolf's Lair during the Battle of Mobei. Wine was expensive in Chang'an for a while.

This time, although the results were not as remarkable as the Battle of Mobei, it was also an unexpected victory that had been long overdue.

It was all because Liu Che had laid such good groundwork in the previous few days that the people of Chang'an almost thought that the Huns had come to Chang'an.

After this battle, many ministers in the royal palace of Chang'an were secretly speculating that Liu Juli had made such a great contribution this time, even if he was not the first to make the contribution, the emperor would have to express his gratitude after his return, right?
Then other people can be granted titles of nobility and appointed as generals, so how will Liu Ju reward them?

He was originally a prince. Before that, when he was the crown prince, although he did not have his own fiefdom like other princes, the Sili Tribe was his future fiefdom, and the throne of the emperor was his future throne.

Therefore, Liu Che probably could not really confer the title of king on him, as this would not be a reward but a demotion.

So is it only possible to reinstate the crown prince?
……

More than a month later, the army arrived at Loulan.

"What? Not long after Liu Ju came back from Gushi, he led his men to Qiuci again?!"

After hearing Han Zeng's words, Wei Qing felt like he was going crazy.

The master has already finished the fight and has done a great job, so why is this bastard nephew going to provoke Qiuci again? !
